I draw in my sketchbooks constantly. This is where I draw with less concern for precision, more light-handedly and pressure-free. I draw from observation, from imagination or from other master drawings I find online. This quick sketch and watercolor wash is very loosely based on a reference image featuring student work from one of Russian art schools (which I mostly used to check anatomical correctness and light rather than likeness). I do a lot of these for sketching practice when I can't get anyone for pose for me. It becomes all the more challenging to create a believable human expression, a challenge that I welcome, since there is hardly a more fulfilling accomplishment for me than breathing life into a 2D image.
